The Hollyland Pyro S is a streamlined SDI and HDMI wireless video transmission system built for crews that require dependable Full HD monitoring without adding bulk or complexity. It transmits up to 1080p60 with low-latency performance tuned for natural operator timing, aiding confident framing and reliable focus pulls on gimbal, handheld, steadicam, or compact studio rigs. With a long, practical line-of-sight reach and a clean encoding pipeline, Pyro S delivers a responsive, production-ready link that fits modern mirrorless and digital cinema workflows.
Connectivity is designed for professional versatility. The transmitter provides SDI input with SDI loop-through plus an HDMI input, allowing pass-through to on-camera recorders or monitors while sending a clean feed wirelessly. The receiver outputs dual SDI and one HDMI, making it simple to feed director’s monitors, DIT carts, switchers, and recorders simultaneously without external splitters. This SDI-forward architecture keeps signal paths robust while maintaining compatibility with mirrorless cameras and compact rigs that rely on HDMI.
Set reliability is reinforced with smart channel scan, helping the system select cleaner frequencies at startup and providing visual guidance to switch channels when the RF environment gets busy. For dialogue-driven work, adjustable fan modes allow Auto, Low, or Off settings to balance cooling with quiet operation, supporting interviews and narrative scenes. Clear OLED status screens on both TX and RX present channel, link health, format, and power at a glance, reducing setup friction and helping crews troubleshoot quickly.
Power options match real-world rigs. Both units accept L-series batteries, DC input, and USB-C power, simplifying integration on cameras, cages, monitors, and carts. An integrated cold shoe with 1/4-inch thread speeds mounting without extra brackets, while the compact, lightweight chassis helps maintain balance on stabilizers and handheld builds. Antenna layouts are designed to maintain reliable links while keeping the footprint tidy for travel jobs and fast-moving sets.
Image clarity is tuned for decision-making on set. The optimized HD pipeline preserves fine edges and textures that matter for focus pulling, while smooth gradations help judge exposure and lighting quickly. Supported 1080p frame rates align with common cinema and broadcast standards across SDI and HDMI, ensuring the same signal can serve camera department needs, client review, and continuity without reconfiguring every station.
Typical use cases include director’s monitoring for performance notes, gimbal and steadicam links for mobile framing, DIT and switcher feeds via dual SDI outputs, and client village viewing during agency sessions. With app-enabled monitoring, teams can expand visibility to multiple mobile devices when needed, keeping departments aligned on composition, exposure, and continuity while avoiding crowding around a single display.
As a camera rental partner, Unicorn Films supplies the Hollyland Pyro S in ready-to-shoot wireless kits. Each package includes paired transmitter and receiver, spare antennas, L‑series battery options, DC and USB‑C power, and SDI/HDMI cabling, along with quick-start guides for pairing, channel scanning, and app monitoring. Our knowledgeable crew aligns I/O to the selected camera and monitors, dials smart channel scan practices for the location, sets fan profiles for quiet interiors or hot exteriors, and ensures the system arrives hassle-free and ready for immediate use.
For teams seeking a compact SDI-and-HDMI wireless link with low latency, scalable viewing, and flexible power, the Hollyland Pyro S delivers. It keeps pictures clean, rigs tidy, and departments in sync, helping productions move faster while maintaining professional monitoring standards on narrative, commercial, documentary, and live sets.
